• Server - Selects the server to be used. Enter in a server name or choose one from the pulldown menu. Right-click in the entry box to manage your ADDE servers and to delete the server from the list.
• Manage - Manages the list of servers by opening the ADDE Servers tab of the User Preferences window.
• Dataset - Selects the dataset to be used. Enter in a dataset name or choose one from the pulldown menu.
• Public Datasets - Lists the public datasets available on the server.
• - Connects and queries the server for available image types.
• Image Type - Selects the image type.
• Times: Relative - Allows you to select a group of up to the last 100 times.
• Times: Absolute - Allows you to select one or more absolute times. When choosing absolute times for the first time, McIDAS-V needs to query the ADDE server for the times. This may take some time. To select more than one time use Ctrl+click or Shift+click. See the Timeline Controls section for details on its use. Click on the Select Day button to narrow down a large dataset to one day.
• Navigation - Selects one of the available navigation types. Use Default for most images, and Lat/Lon if LALO navigation should be used. Level 1b servers and POES servers often require Lat/Lon navigation to be used.
• Preview - Displays a preview of the image in the Region tab of the Field Selector. If this box is unchecked, then only a map of the image coverage area will be shown without any data.
• Help - Brings up this help page.
• Refresh - Updates the Imagery chooser with the most recent data.
• Cancel - Cancels the query of data. The chooser will reset back to default.
